This is also the first Whitesnake album to feature Coverdale's former bandmate in Deep Purple, Jon Lord.

Recording

The album was recorded at Central Recorders Studio in London during the summer of 1978. Martin Birch produced the album, which was recorded and mixed in ten days.

According to Coverdale, one of the reasons the album was called "Trouble", was that his first child was born during the album's recording.[3]
